New Jersey Accident Laws

New Jersey accident law provides anyone who has sustained injury as a result of the carelessness of someone else the right to pursue a personal injury claim to gain reimbursement for all losses associated with the injury.  But, the requirements of the law are complex, requiring skilled and experienced legal assistance to gain the full compensation injury victims deserve.  With over 50 years of combined experience helping injury victims, the New Jersey accident law firm of Prince & Portnoi knows how to help clients obtain the best possible resolution for their cases.

Types of compensation

Individuals suffering a New Jersey accident injury resulting from the negligence of others have a right to recover all expenses incurred as a result of those injuries.  Under New Jersey accident laws, these include, but are certainly not limited to, the following:

  • All medical expenses for all treatment through to recovery
  • The cost of physical therapy
  • Lost wages and time lost from work, including time spent traveling to medical, therapy, and legal appointments
  • Costs associated with results from permanent disabilities or disfigurement
  • Costs needed to care for the home or family until such time as recovery is complete, or even lifetime expenses in the result of permanent disability

Proving fault

The accident laws in New Jersey carry specific requirements in determining the negligence of one or more parties.  Even if injured parties were also partially negligent, the New Jersey comparative negligence law allows them to recover from any party who was more negligent.  In the case of multiple negligent parties, each party is held liable to compensate the victim based on the percentage of their liability.

Time limits for filing a claim

Under accident law in New Jersey, you must file an accident lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident.  Particularly when you or your attorney are having problems obtaining fair compensation from an insurance claim, it is important to keep the two-year statute of limitations in mind if you intend to take your claim to court.
